(NEWSER) – Residents of a Colorado neighborhood went full-on vigilante recently, chasing down a man they thought had been sexually assaulting children and throwing rocks at him until authorities intervened. The Pueblo residents were upset that police hadn't done enough, in their estimation, to catch the person responsible for two recent sex crimes, the AP reports, citing the Pueblo Chieftain. Some of them had been canvassing the neighborhood, searching for the attacker, and when they heard a man matching his description had been seen, they confronted him and he ran.
